Looking for paid casual work during the 2026 Victorian State Election?

The Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) is recruiting temporary election workers to help deliver the 2026 Victorian State Election. Roles are available across Victoria, including in our local area.

This opportunity may be of interest to those who are looking to earn extra income, gain experience or contribute to their community.

Election work offers a range of opportunities to suit different skills, experience levels and availability. Some roles require several weeks of work before or after election day, while others are just for election day itself on Saturday 28 November.

Working at an election is an opportunity to:
• earn extra income
• gain valuable work experience
• meet new people
• support your local community
• play a role in Victoria's democracy.
Training and support are provided, and most roles do not require previous election experience.
If you'd like to know more about what it's like to be a VEC election casual, search on YouTube and view their casual recruitment case studies.

Applications are now open. Find out more and register at vec.vic.gov.au/electionwork
